Word Counter

What makes PicoToolkit unique?

Our goal was to create the handiest online word counter tool, so website owners and writers would find it helpful. We hope that you will like it too.

We know that a simple word and character counter is available in any decent text editor, so we decided to go beyond the simple counter. The tool will show not only detailed stats about the number of words in the text but let you quickly process a large amount of text and dig tons of valuable data.

• find the number of unique words
• find word frequency
• find keywords density
• find the number of pattern occurrences
• extract phone numbers, URLs, emails, etc.
• count paragraphs

The functionality of PicoToolkit goes even further. We provide many tools that assist you with bulk text manipulation like letter case transformations, striping HTML, removing unnecessary characters, etc.

The functionality of this free online word counter.

The list above is just a glimpse of the functionality our tool provides. Below we present the most common use cases.

Find the total number of words.

The most basic yet most valuable feature. If you wish to check the word count, just copy and paste the text into the form. The important to note is that our editor counts words as you type or modify the text.

Find a number of unique words.

Finding the number of unique words is particularly useful when you analyze a data set, not just a regular text. The number of unique words may represent the number of items.

Our editor lets you quickly get rid of unnecessary text. If you wish to analyze an event log, you could quickly strip the unwanted strings and leave only the data for the analysis.

Calculate the word frequency.

Word frequency counter has many applications. From finding the most popular words to learning a new language.

You could copy and paste the text in a different language and sort words by their frequency this way, you could build a list of vocabulary to learn. This way, you will focus your effort on memorizing only the most useful words.

An extensive set of vocabulary is particularly important since it improves your word choice and writing style.

Count the number of words matching a pattern.

This is especially useful if you wish to calculate the occurrences of particular patterns. For example, if you wish to count how often particular identifiers appear in the text.

Count sentences.

This is a useful feature for writers or bloggers. It helps to determine if a particular text is easy to read. If an article with a high word count has just a few sentences, it is a clear indication that you tend to write sentences that are too long and difficult to understand.

Count paragraphs.

This is a good indicator of article readability since it is a good practice to keep paragraphs short. So the high number of short paragraphs makes the article easy to read.

Mass edit

The most significant advantage of our website is the ability to instantly modify the large blocks of text. PicoToolkit provides you with dozens of tools for mass modification of large datasets. You could for example, strip HTML, remove duplicates, add prefixes or suffixes to each line, etc.
